Dr. Tabb leads Beth Israel Lahey Health as president and CEO, overseeing a pioneering integrated health care system that offers a full continuum of services ranging from hospital to ambulatory to urgent to behavioral health care. The system is uniquely structured to advance meaningful collaboration across organizations, care settings, specialties and geographies to ensure patients receive the treatment they need in the communities where they live and work. He previously served as CEO of the Boston-based Beth Israel Deaconess system and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and before that as chief medical officer at Palo Alto, Calif.-based Stanford Hospital & Clinics, where he held broad strategic and operational responsibilities spanning physician network strategy, clinical quality and patient safety, regulatory and medical staff affairs, and graduate and continuing medical education. He also served as chief quality and medical information officer at Stanford earlier in his tenure there. Prior to his time at Stanford, Dr. Tabb led the clinical data service division of GE Healthcare IT, giving him a distinctive blend of clinical leadership, health system executive experience and healthcare technology expertise. In March 2026, Dr. Tabb announced his intention to step down in a year, after more than 14 years of transformative leadership of the system and its predecessor healthcare providers. He will continue in his role until a successor is selected and a smooth transition is fully supported.
